I really need to learn how to take better photos. I have a really good Nikon camera and I just use it as a point and shoot. I bet if could get some awesome results if I learned to use it better.

I have a Canon and have had various classes on how to use it in different ways. I love to photograph wild life and guess what.... Wild life does not wait till I have adjusted my camera so I still use it as a point and shoot. The only good thing is my zoom lens!

That is a very good point. I usually take photos of embroidery they so often don't look like they should. I am pretty sure my embroidery won't move while I adjust my camera. I also like to take photos of the birds, we get heaps of lovely birds in our garden.

At least in the digital age you are not wasting film while you practise!

IF you are really interested in learning how to use your digital camera a great place to learn is at http://www.thepioneerwoman.com This a fantastic blog by The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond - you may have heard of her. She has a few topics she covers including photography and using Photoshop. It's an amazing site and I think anyone who enjoys machine embroidery would also enjoy her blog. I have learned a lot about photography, cooking, ranch life and LIfe in general from Ree - Check it out when you get a few minutes.
She also has contests and gives out some really neat prizes!

thank you I will go and check it out. It does seem a waste to have a good quality camera and not use it properly.
